42 Dr. G. B. Longstaff’s Notes on 
SATYRINA. 
Calisto zangis, Fabr. 26 specimens. Very generally 
distributed in woods, but seldom abundant. Constant 
Spring, Castleton, Mandeville, Mackfield (common), Wal- 
derston (common), Port Antonio (abundant). The sexes 
about equally divided. It flies amongst herbage so close 
to the ground as to be difficult to catch, yet seldom moving 
many yards. It is distinctly a shade-lover. On 27th 
February, 1907, near Port Antonio, I saw it flying freely 
on a rainy day. 
HELICONINA. 
Heliconius charithonia, Linn. 21 specimens. Generally 
distributed throughout the island and not uncommon. 
Constant Spring, Castleton (common), Mackfield, Walder- 
ston, Christiana, Montego Bay, Port Antonio (common). 
This butterfly has usually a slow flapping flight often in 
half-shade. It is distinctly local, in the sense that it is 
confined to a very small area in each locality ; sometimes 
it may be seen flying up and down a very short beat. It 
settles on flowers and leaves with wings fully expanded. 
Mr. P. W. Jarvis, of the Colonial Bank, told me that 
the butterfly was very common later in the year, and that 
it “clustered” on going to rest for the night; a number 
of specimens sitting close together, but not actually cling- 
ing to one another. On 5th March, 1905, at “Shotover,” 
near Port Antonio, close upon 1000 feet above the sea, at 
about noon ona dull day, eight or ten were seen flying 
about under the shelter of a hedge. As many as seven 
of these settled on dead sticks, etc., within a space of 
2 feet by 1 foot. This butterfly is somewhat hard to kill. 
As compared with Venezuelan specimens, those from 
Jamaica have all the yellow marks a little larger; and the 
red spot near the base of the cell of the hind-wing is 
smaller, or even absent. 
NYMPHALINZ. 
Colenis cillene, Cram. (should not the name be cyllene ?), 
12 2,4 2. Generally distributed and not uncommon. 
Constant Spring (common), Castleton (common), Mack- 
field, Montego Bay, Walderston, Port Antonio. 
A grand insect on the wing, sailing about like a piece 
of rich gold. The imperfect condition of many of the 
specimens is not apparent during its strong flight. It is
